- There is no other way than agreement within the constitutional logic, both between the president and the building on Szucha Avenue [...] and also between the Presidential Palace and Klonowa - said Piotr Zgorzelski in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Radia Zet", when asked if Radosław Sikorski and President Karol Nawrocki would reach an agreement regarding ambassadors.
- Both of these actions are inscribed in constitutional logic. I'll go further, neither the president nor the minister of foreign affairs and the Ministry of National Defence should and are not doing any favors - he continued.

- Very preliminary work is currently underway to actually prepare certain assumptions for a new constitution. As we are at an initial stage, it is very difficult to determine [in which direction it will go]. There are many voices suggesting that it would be worthwhile to strengthen the president's competencies in the assumptions of a new constitution - said Szymon Szynkowski vel Sęk in 'Sygnały dnia' on PR1.

Szynkowski vel Sęk Asked About Kaczyński's Words on Constitutional Changes:
I'm Not Inside the President's Head.
- I can imagine that the constitution can be supplemented – in areas where it defines certain matters too generally, in too little detail – by statutes, also specifying certain elements that are not fully articulated in the constitution. But this is my interpretation. I am not inside the President's head to know exactly what he meant - said Szymon Szynkowski vel Sęk in „Sygnały dnia” PR1, when asked about Jarosław Kaczyński's words:
Kaczyński on Constitutional Changes: 2/3 of Votes Isn't Easy...

Szynkowski vel Sęk on draft bills regarding night-time prohibition:
We are before a club discussion.
- We are before a club [Law and Justice party] discussion, so we don't have the club's stance yet. However, I can tell you what my personal stance is on this matter - said Szymon Szynkowski vel Sęk on "Sygnały dnia" PR1, when asked about two draft bills concerning night-time prohibition that have been submitted to the Sejm.
- In 2017, I was one of the co-authors of the act that gave local governments the right to make decisions about partial, temporary, territorial prohibition or restriction of alcohol sales. As a former local government official, I believed that the decision should be in the hands of local government officials - he stated.
- Now the question is whether it is the right regulation of this situation to give this right to people who are closest to the citizens, i.e., local government officials, or to go a step further and establish a certain ban on alcohol sales from the top down, which in practice means taking away this right from local government officials. My personal reflection is this: let's leave this right to local government officials after all - he indicated.

Zgorzelski on Nawrocki:
He Conducts Dynamic Foreign Policy, Makes No Major Mistakes.
"He announced that he would conduct a dynamic foreign policy and it's visible that he is conducting this dynamic foreign policy and so far he hasn't made any major mistakes," said Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet, when asked if he liked what President Karol Nawrocki has been doing since August 6.

Zgorzelski:
Fighting the Banderite Lie Requires Not an Amendment, but a Good Discussion, Then a Good Law
- I believe it was unserious to attach the issue in the form of an amendment to this law [on aid to Ukrainians]. Truly, the fight against the Banderite lie and the fight for Volhynian memory requires not an amendment, because it is unserious, but first and foremost requires a good discussion, and then a good law - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet.
- Of course, yes, I even have to say that such a law is probably available to be pulled from the freezer and was submitted perhaps by one of the parliamentary clubs, and perhaps we will have to work on it or submit another and create some joint project - he continued, when asked if he would prepare such a law.
- We did not engage in supporting an amendment that was purely propagandistic and changed nothing. There must be sanctions, it must be specifically described what constitutes the Banderite lie or the Volhynian lie, and the glorification of Banderism in Poland. It is too big a problem to be contained in an amendment - he went on to say.

Zgorzelski:
I'm Not Sure if the Government Reconstruction is Over. I Agree it's Irrelevant to the Council of Ministers' Operations
- I believe we shouldn't be held hostage by pronouncements about, for example, having the largest or smallest government in the world. Because I think a government should be not so much the smallest or largest, but primarily effective, and if there's a need arising from the economy, security, and other matters, then let the government be such as to meet those demands - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet.
- Frankly, I don't know for sure either whether this reconstruction has ended or not - he continued.
- I don't know, because I'm more involved with parliamentary affairs. However, if you were to ask me if I know whether the reconstruction has already come to an end, I think not yet - he continued, when pressed if there was a problem with it.
- I agree - he added, when asked about the fact that 70% of Poles surveyed considered this matter completely irrelevant to the government's operations.
- There was a point to it in that after the elections, the Prime Minister announced that there would be a government reconstruction - he noted, when asked about the purpose of the reconstruction.
08:53
- This is a clause in the coalition agreement and it will certainly be fulfilled - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet, when asked if the swap of Marshal Hołownia for Marshal Czarzasty would be carried out painlessly.
- I am not entirely sure about anything, but I believe that such demands should be met - he continued, when pressed if he was certain.
08:46
- President Donald Trump's perspective on the actions of the Russian Federation, on the situation in Ukraine, is becoming increasingly realistic, pragmatic, and increasingly takes into account the reality in which the Russian Federation does not respect any principles of international law – said Szymon Szynkowski vel Sęk in an interview with Grzegorz Osiecki on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.
- I think that a significant element of this evolution in the American president's outlook was the visit of President Karol Nawrocki to Washington on September 3rd. Because shortly after that meeting, I received a report from Minister Marcin Przydacz, with whom I spoke, who indicated that during that meeting, President Nawrocki presented a number of arguments that were accepted by President Trump – he continued.
- The reflection after this meeting was that President Trump's perspective appears to be a bit different from what we were dealing with in the preceding weeks. So, this is good news, because from Poland's point of view, it is of course a positive change – he stated.

Zgorzelski Critiques the Left's Proposals to Restrict Alcohol Sales:
Why Don't We Sew 36 Million Uniforms and Become Like North Korea?
- Let's trust the citizens. I mean local governments, because local government isn't just a village mayor, a town mayor, or even a councilor, but the people. Let the people decide in a town in Podkarpacie, Podlasie, or Pomerania - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet, when asked if he supports the Left's proposals, such as banning alcohol sales at gas stations and a night-time prohibition.
- They should decide whether they want a night store, whether they want alcohol sold during certain hours, or not, really, should we in the Sejm regulate people's lives like this? Why don't we then sew 36 million uniforms, put them on, and become like North Korea - he continued.
- I would prefer that in the matter of whether a liquor store in town X is open or closed, the Sejm does not decide, because we will simply go mad - he further stated.

Morawiecki on the Lviv Conference:
I Had the Opportunity to Speak with the Best of the Best in New Technologies.
- Today's fight is waged not only with soldiers, but also with drones, radars, and technological solutions - wrote Mateusz Morawiecki on social media.
- During the Defense Tech Valley 2050 conference in Lviv, I had the opportunity to speak with the best of the best in the field of new technologies - the former prime minister emphasized.
- What technology should Poland invest in first – drones or radars? - highlighted the PiS vice-chairman, publishing a short video clip.
Dzisiejsza walka toczy się nie tylko przy użyciu żołnierzy, ale także dronów, radarów i rozwiązań technologicznych.

Szłapka on night-time alcohol bans:
I would prefer this decision to be made by local governments
- Frankly speaking, I would prefer this decision [regarding night-time alcohol bans] to be made by local governments, and if I were a councilor, for example in Poznań, where I am from, I would vote as the city councilors do - stated Adam Szłapka on TVP Info.
- I am not a spokesperson for the Warsaw City Council, I did not like how it all looked, but decisions on this matter are made by the Warsaw City Council, which has a mandate from the residents - he continued.

Szłapka:
Poland has Always Been a Hawk When It Comes to Sanctions Against Russia
- In Poland, nobody has any doubts, and Poland has always been a hawk when it comes to sanctions against Russia, even before the full-scale war began – after all, this conflict has been ongoing since 2014 - stated Adam Szłapka on TVP Info.
08:03
Szłapka:
We Repeatedly Warned Western Allies Not to Feed Russia with Money
- We warned, and the president also spoke about this, earlier the prime minister too, at many European meetings; we repeatedly warned Western allies that Russia must be truly handled with caution, that it cannot be fed money. We also said that Ukraine must be supported - stated Adam Szłapka on TVP Info.
07:59
Szłapka:
On matters of security, defense, and diplomatic issues, there must be one voice, and it's very good that it exists
- On matters concerning security, defense, and diplomatic issues, Poland's position here – there must be one voice, and it's very good that this voice exists. Poland has one foreign policy; the foundation of our security is the NATO alliance. No one questions this; we are in the EU, our allies are in the West. The threat is Russia; all political forces in Poland, all major political forces have been saying this for years – stated Adam Szłapka on TVP Info.

Nawrocki:
We Are Seeking Participation in G20 Works
- Poland, a co-founder of the United Nations, is the world's twentieth-largest economy and a country that, over the last 30 years, has successfully transformed from a developing country into a developed one, and from a centrally planned economy into a market economy - wrote Karol Nawrocki on social media.
- This unique experience allows us to make a significant contribution to UN discussions on development, bridging the perspectives of the global East and West, as well as the North and South - emphasized the President of the Republic of Poland.
- Considering our potential and experience, we are consistently seeking participation in the G20 works – a format that serves as a bridge in the current turbulent times. We hope that the invitation to cooperate and participate in the group's next summit, extended by the United States – for which I thank the US President – will translate into Poland's permanent presence within this group - he stated.
Polska, współzałożyciel Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych, jest dwudziestą co do wielkości gospodarką świata oraz krajem, który w ciągu ostatnich 30 lat z powodzeniem przekształcił się z kraju rozwijającego się w kraj rozwinięty oraz z gospodarki centralnie planowanej w… pic.twitter.com/g0TUIjbBKJ
